My husband and I found your page and found it to be quite entertaining. My wife and I appreciated the story and I look forward to reading more from your blog again. How can I be notified of more blurbs that are published here on your blog?

Willy & the Poor Boys is the classic CCR jam for me. Authentic, but still an innocent feel too. AMerica in the late ’60′s early ’70′s before the Sh** hit the fan and we lost our innocence.

Does anyone have an idea as to why Mardi Gras wasn’t remastered? It’s probably their “worst” album (still pretty average), given the split in songwriting/singing that was demanded at the time, but it is a little odd to remaster 6/7 of a band’s official album releases. I’d prefer a complete set.

Green River and Lodi are my favorites…Being from Brooklyn, I always thought he was singing about be stuck in Lodi New Jersey..

‘It Came out of The Sky’ would be my favorite, mostly for its sense of humor wondering why those UFO sightings always seem to be out in the sticks instead of an urban area. I also played the tune with one of my bands for a dozen years or so.

though a bit sacriligious, i also liked the official 12″ vinyl mega medley (as opposed to the previously released 7″ medley mix which reallly sucked) which was reaqlly well done and a stone hit whenever I played it.

The Blue Ridge Rangers was a huge favorite as was Tom Fogerty’s “Good Bye, Mr. Media Man”

Favorite CCR ?? It just has to be Midnight Special….I heard that song as a kid of about 10, just starting to explore music and it had everything….the blues swagger of the opening bars…the drunken bar sing-a-long of the chorus and the truth of the story….every time I hear that song I decide I’m going to record. But I never do because it can’t be done any better. And I think that’s true of most of CCR’s catalog, which is what makes them great.

This post had me digging through the CCR last night and today, and I have to say that “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” jumped up and grabbed me pretty hard. Some lines (“Five Year Plans and New Deals, wrapped in golden chains”) feel damn topical, given our current state of affairs…

Well, I could go along with the Dude and say “Lookin’ Out My Back Door” but I really do love “Green River”

99 1/2 was the first song to come to my mind when I read CCR Jam.

Honestly, my very first memory of hearing MUSIC is CCR playing in my aunt’s VW bug while I was strapped in the car seat when I was a baby…Bad Moon Rising (hope you’re quite prepared to die)

Sinister Purpose is pure, evil rock and roll…all those tortured bending guitar strings and the feedback that keeps floating in and out – definitely one of the greatest tracks EVER!!

I know I’m going to change my mind the moment I submit this comment, but I’m going to have to say that Ramble Tamble is my favorite CCR tune.

LODI!

There are so many good ones, but Lodi is definitely my favorite.
